The Pendragon's Hall

Now I've heard it all. The thugs arrested in the death of Washington Redskins star Sean Taylor are actually mounting a defense based on the fact that they "didn't know" Taylor would be home and only intended to rob him, not kill him. When the courageous football player intervened not only to protect his possessions, but also his fiancee, they shot him and left him to die. Well that makes it all better. We weren't going to kill, we were only going to rob him. The rotten pig deserved to die, didn't he? Officer, I swear: the gun went off. The idiot shouldn't have tried to stop me. The fact that this lousy excuse for a defense is actually being seriously mounted in court is further testament to the deterioration of America's justice system. It is now up to the state of Florida to prove us all wrong by seating these four examples of the scum of the earth on a hotter seat than any they've had before. But I won't be holding my breath. In the meantime, a man is cut down in his prime merely for attempting to protect someone important to him. But all we're worried about is the stinking perps.
